1. I cannot imagine ever again taking any protestation from any RC hereon about any purported slander by any Protty with more than a molecule of salt.

Since when should any of us (all Catholics or all Protestants) get grouped like that? No one of us should be responsible for the actions of another.

Besides, slander is based on the truth or falsity of the claim being examined... it doesn't matter who is speaking the slander and who is accusing, if the claim isn't true, it's slander.

2. If I come up with such a testimonial by an MD in good standing in his community, will you repent of such outrageous statements against Pastor Wright?

It takes more than one MD to be convincing. Might I suggest the way that we've done it for centuries when examining cases for canonization of Saints: a panel of doctors concluding that there is no natural explanation whatsoever for the healing.

Have we thrown out cases that were probably miraculous intercession? Yes, but that random treatment here or there for whatever it was cast a grain of doubt. But even in those that were naturally explainable, it was certainly God's mercy and benevolence that brings about the healing.

BTW... I'm happy to put my two cents in, but just out of curiosity, why was I pinged?

I can't answer that, but I can say this:

Excellent post!
